Summary | "Bathseba: Davidin puheluja itsensä kanssa" by Volter Kilpi is a fictional novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is presented from the perspective of King David of Israel, who engages in deep introspection and reflection on love and yearning, particularly focusing on his feelings for Bathsheba. The novel captures the emotional and spiritual struggles of its main character as he navigates themes of desire, solitude, and the connection between the personal and the divine. The opening portion of the work immerses the reader in King David’s contemplative state as he sits on the rooftop, gazing at the starry night and the wilderness before him. He expresses his profound love for the night and the expansive landscape, which he perceives as intertwined lovers. David's internal conflict is accentuated by his longing for emotional and physical connection, specifically with Bathsheba, highlighted through his vivid imagery and intense emotional expressions. His reflections oscillate between the beauty of nature, the burden of his kingly responsibilities, and the passionate yearning for love, setting a poetic and melancholic tone right from the start.
